  YuJa Himalayas Data Archiving Platform Update – “Douglas Fir”

  Australia Zone Canada Zone European Union Zone Middle East Zone YuJa Himalayas Archiving Add-On

  We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Himalayas Data Archiving Platform instances residing in Canada, Australia, Middle East, Asia and the European Union. This update provides our transition towards importing Microsoft Teams recordings with the YuJa app and new thumbnails for archived content.

  1. Transitioning Towards Importing Microsoft Teams Recordings With YuJa’s Microsoft Teams App
     Previously, we provided two options to import Microsoft Teams recordings—a server-side Microsoft Teams API integration and our client-side YuJa app. However, the API integration had limitations regarding imports, restricted access to managing them, and weak support from Microsoft. As a result, we’ve decided to transition all clients to the YuJa Microsoft Teams app. This change will allow Content Creators to manage their recordings more efficiently and with a simplified integration process.
     
  2. New Thumbnail UI for Archived Content
     We’ve enhanced the thumbnail for cold archived media by adding a transparent overlay to the original thumbnail of archived content.
